100 Performances for the Hole – Take Two is the second incarnation of 100 Performances for the Hole, the event features 100 two-minute performances created for and around an old mechanics pit in the floor of the gallery. SOMArts is proud to be partnering with Bay Area Video Coalition (BVAC) to broadcast this event to their cable access channels 76 and 29. This unique event and may never be recreated, so don’t miss out!
SOMArts Cultural Center has a unique space, among other attributes, it houses a large mechanics pit in the floor of its main gallery. On March 6th, for one night only, this pit will be transformed into a unique platform for performance. Anyone is invited to submit a piece for this exhibition. Your proposal will be reviewed by a special jury of artists, curators and visual arts professionals, consisting of Kevin Chen, Peter Foucault, Justin Hoover, Jackie Im, Lex Leifheit, Lucy Kalyani Lin, and Jennifer Locke. After the live event, documentation of all the pieces will be exhibited in the gallery for the duration of the month. 100 Performances – Take Two is all about live art. It is about using the gallery as a space for experimentation. This show treats the gallery space as a laboratory as opposed to a repository, and requires the energy of the public in order to make it happen. Any type of performance is allowed, from dance, to spoken word, to games and songs, to body art, and awkward gestures. If you can think it you can make it happen. There are only two rules.
